Delta changes its tune

Delta Airlines says it will roll its Song discount “airline within an airline” back into the main carrier. What a surprise. Song has always been a sour note. Delta, which is in bankruptcy, says it will keep Song flying until May.

It’s the second time Delta has tried and failed with the concept. Remember Delta Express?

United still clings to Ted, but in time, it too, will join Shuttle by United on the airline scrapheap. Airlines within an airline didn’t work in the early 90s, and they aren’t working now. In other words, same Song, different verse.

Now that the music’s stopped for Song, maybe the airline industry can learn a different tune.
